Cyber war declared on the Middle East?

Amazingly, a fifth breakdown in the Middle East's Internet
connectivity has occurred within the span of just a week. This is far
from a simple coincidence and can only mean that something big is going
on.

It all started with the two
undersea cable cuts
on Wednesday, last week, and this was followed by a series of cuts,
stretching from the Mediterranean, all the way to Malaysia. Though we in
Pakistan hardly felt any of the effects, a number of Middle Eastern
countries suffered as much as 70% loss in connectivity.

There's more info on this, as well as the above map,

while this article,
posted on TGP,
attempts to "connect the dots". Very interesting read.

"I still think it was Rudy Giuliani" - Read this on ilovebonnie.net... How true X D

For about a year now the former Chief Strategist of Netscape has been warning everyone through his articles that this was a huge threat and actually identified several strategies and tactics that if used would compromise the information infrastructure in the U.S. and globally. Why is it our intelligence services are just waking up to this threat? Why is it throughout history we ignore or dismiss the experts until it is too late! I just did a Google search (Kevin Coleman Cyber Attack) and found over 13,000 references. With that much intelligence we should be much further along in protecting and defending against cyber attacks that we are today!
